Features
Everything your band needs, in one workspace
What does BandVolt do? It gives your band one workspace for song versions, timestamped feedback, setlists, a shared calendar, files, and finances - built for how bands actually work.
One workspace instead of a stack
Most bands run on a group chat, a cloud drive, and somebody's spreadsheet - tools that were never built for band work. Links get lost in the chat, mixes pile up as renamed files nobody can tell apart, and the money lives on one person's laptop. BandVolt replaces that stack with a single workspace where versions, feedback, setlists, schedule, files, and finances live together - and every member sees the same thing.
The right tool for the job
Each tool in the usual band stack is great at what it was built for - none of them were built for running a band. Here is how the jobs stack up.
| What the band needs | Group chat WhatsApp | Cloud drive Drive, Dropbox | File transfer WeTransfer | Streaming playlist Spotify | BandVolt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Every mix version, labelled and in order A drive can hold renamed files, but nothing tracks which is latest. BandVolt versions every song - labelled, dated, with a waveform player. | Not really | Partly, with workarounds | Not really | Not really | Built for it |
| Feedback pinned to the exact second of a track Chat notes scroll away and never point anywhere. BandVolt comments live on the waveform, with threads and resolution. | Not really | Not really | Not really | Not really | Built for it |
| Audio kept at full, original quality Chat apps compress audio sent as media and streaming is lossy. Drives and transfers store the file as-is - BandVolt always does. | Not really | Built for it | Built for it | Not really | Built for it |
| A permanent home for the band's music Transfer links expire and a playlist only holds released music. Your BandVolt library keeps everything, for as long as you want it. | Not really | Built for it | Not really | Partly, with workarounds | Built for it |
| Setlists from any version - album cut, live edit, or unreleased A playlist can order released album cuts, nothing more. BandVolt setlists can use any version of any song, unreleased included. | Not really | Not really | Not really | Partly, with workarounds | Built for it |
| Key, BPM, lyrics & time signature on stage BandVolt's setlist playback mode puts the musical information in front of the band. None of the others know what a key is. | Not really | Not really | Not really | Not really | Built for it |
| Shared calendar for gigs & rehearsals BandVolt events carry their own setlists and files, visible to every member - not another thread to scroll. | Not really | Not really | Not really | Not really | Built for it |
| Band income, expenses & receipts The money usually lives in a spreadsheet on one person's laptop. BandVolt's shared ledger shows every member the same numbers. | Not really | Not really | Not really | Not really | Built for it |
| Stream private music from one link - no account needed Chat needs the recipient in the app, a drive link opens a file preview, transfers expire. A BandVolt share link streams in the browser and can be revoked any time. | Partly, with workarounds | Partly, with workarounds | Partly, with workarounds | Not really | Built for it |

Capture every version of your song
Every mix iteration stays labelled, dated, and in one place - with the waveform ready to play back. No more hunting through WhatsApp or wondering which file is the latest.
BandVolt keeps every version of a song in one place - each mix you upload is labelled, dated, and listed in chronological order with its own waveform player. Stems, lyrics, and artwork live on the song too, so nobody has to ask which file is the latest and no earlier take is ever lost.
- Waveform visualisation for every upload
- Original quality always - we never compress your uploads
- Stems, supporting files, lyrics, and artwork per song
- Full version history - never lose an earlier take
Hear the difference. Make the call.
Audition multiple mix versions side by side and switch between them at the same playback position. Hear what changed without opening a dozen tabs.

Instead of opening a dozen tabs and losing your place, you hear exactly what changed between versions - and you can compare Mix Health scores to back the decision up.

Know if your mix is release-ready

Mix Health in BandVolt runs an objective check on any mix version and returns a release-readiness score with plain-language guidance on what to fix. It flags loudness, clipping, and stereo issues early, puts a health badge on every version, and lets you compare scores between versions to confirm a revision actually improved things.
- On-demand quality score with a clear fix-it breakdown
- Health badge on every version at a glance
- Spot loudness, clipping, and stereo issues early
- Compare scores between versions to see what changed
Feedback that actually lands
Leave feedback directly on the waveform, pinned to the exact second, so notes stay attached to the track. No more digging through the group chat.
In BandVolt, feedback is pinned to the exact second in the track, so a note about the second chorus lives on the second chorus. Reply threads and upvotes keep the conversation in context, and comments can be marked resolved once actioned - nothing gets buried in a group chat.
- Pin comments to precise timestamps in the audio
- Reply threads and upvotes keep feedback in context
- Mark comments resolved when actioned
- Invite external collaborators (Premium)
Cut through the noise. Know what needs to change.
AI Mix Summary reads every comment on a track and distils the thread into clear, actionable feedback your producer can act on.
AI Mix Summary in BandVolt reads every unresolved comment on a track and distils the thread into a clear, prioritised list of what to change next. Overlapping notes are grouped and the noise is ignored, so the producer walks into the next session with a punch list instead of forty open threads.

- Distils long threads into clear action items
- Ignores the noise, focuses on the feedback
- Ideal for condensing mix notes before a session

Walk into rehearsal and just play
Key, BPM, lyrics, and time signature on screen in dedicated playback mode - with each setlist built from the exact version of every song you actually play live.
Build a setlist in BandVolt, drag songs into order, and link it to the gig or rehearsal on the band calendar. Each setlist can use any version of a song - the album cut, an extended live arrangement, or an abridged edit - and unreleased songs slot straight in, which no streaming playlist can do. A dedicated playback mode puts key, BPM, lyrics, and time signature on screen for each song.
- Choose which version of each song a setlist uses - album cut, live arrangement, or edit
- Add unreleased songs - something a streaming playlist can never hold
- Key, BPM, lyrics, and time signature in dedicated playback mode
- Link setlists to gigs and rehearsals on the calendar
